Paul V. Ryan

Licensed Therapist

The counseling journey is a joint effort between the client and counselor. The objective for my clients during this journey is to create a partnership where they feel safe and free to speak their mind free of judgement. My practice style emphasizes on the utilization of techniques and interventions best suited for the clients particular needs. I am straight forward and will challenge my clients when it is needed and always with the utmost respect. I believe humor has a place in most sessions.

I felt very comfortable talking to Paul. I look forward to him helping me navigate through my trauma and grief. I am looking forward to my journey in life.

I truly go through my virtual appointments feeling the same that I would if I was in person and that is most helpful.

Anna G.

I was unsure what to expect because I've never heard of Ascend before but was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Great communicators! Trauma informed and the accessibility and ease of the user interface was the cherry on top for me.

I've dealt with many counselors over the years and it seems more challenging than ever getting anywhere. But my therapist here has literally brought some light into my darkness. Truly appreciate the time and efforts beyond words.

Rick H.

Just finished my first appointment and the therapist I was matched with was one of the finest people I have ever dealt with. Very respectful and professional, I highly recommend this team.
